‘We’re curzed!’ The Nash go viral

By Sam Elliott

WHEN you have waited all summer long for the first game of the season to arrive, an opening-day defeat is always a little harder to digest than a Tuesday night loss in bleak mid-winter.

For some diehards, their first Saturday slaughtering by turned them to drink.

As part of the North club's commitment to its fans, their twitter account has promised once again this season to keep cyberspace fully up to date.

That lasted all of 34 minutes. As Harriers knocked in goal number four, the tweeters-in-chief retired to the clubhouse.

After making themselves comfortable, word reached the person in charge of the account of yet another for the visitors.

“Curzon 0-5 Kidderminster,” it read. “Can't tell you any more than that – we are in the bar.”

Curzon tweet

The first half funny got retweeted over 1,000 times – and Curzon manager John Flanaghan says the post has a familiar tone to it!

“I thought it was a brilliant tweet on a day we would clearly rather forget,” he said. “Twitter is good for that kind of thing and at least it lightened the mood.

“Far from me to point fingers, but this is the handy work of some people rather close to me – my sons!

“They help to do the live match updates and it was clearly Aaron at the heart of it. The boys are brilliant and they're really committed to the club – as long as they don't post about poor tactics from the manager we won't have a family falling out!”

If the devil makes work for idle thumbs then Flanaghan should hope his boys have plenty to keep them busy.

Curzon went down 6-1 to Kiddy and then on Wednesday night another defensive disaster stopped them claiming a great win in a 4-4 draw at Bradford Park Avenue.

“It's a tough old league,” the manager said. “The amount of huge clubs in it this year makes it even more of a challenge than it was last year.

“But we love all that. We aren't one of the bigger clubs, we're well aware of that fact but I back us to keep on surprising people. It took us 11 games to register our first win last season so we're not exactly worried by a slow start.”
